News: Identifying with an Editor (For Once)

■ Cindi Leive, editor-in-chief of Glamour (you know, the only magazine that believes cooking chicken for a man will force him to propose) spoke to WWD about judging nominees for the National Magazine Award.

“After reading these top-notch magazines for two solid days, you come home with this huge laundry list of things you want to either change, burn, rip up or destroy about your own magazine.”

We often feel that way about Glamour, too, Cindi.

■ And Spanish Vogue’s March issue (seen here) is, at 1,006 pages and nearly six pounds, now the largest edition the international conglomerate has published, handily shattering American Vogue’s September 2004 record of 832 pages.

We’re eagerly awaiting the inevitable expansion of upcoming American issues of Vogue—that’s the competitive spirit we’ve come to expect from Anna Wintour—but only if they follow European tradition and include a free gift as an incentive. We’re thinking a wheelbarrow would be appropriate.
